Thanks Jim. I am still waiting to hear from GW (not pressuring, just waiting), but I guess I'll have to go deactivate all other scripts, and look for other explanations for this being on just my pc (good news really I know).
One idea may be the "make mouse pointer follow focus" script. Maybe I left it on, and maybe it's playing a part. thanks.
